THE PORTAGE RAILROA D.
Senator Watkma' bill for a portajre
railway at the Cascade locks needs back
ing up of both the press and the boards
pf trade and city governments else it i.s
liable to fail. Its chief danger lies in
the government letting the work by con
tract, and thus making the portage rail
way useless. This very thing killed a
similar bill two years ago, and it should
not be allowed to murder this one. Our
legislators should remember that even
should the work be let by contract it
will take at the least two years to com
plete the work, and the road would have
more than paid for itself in that time.
It would give us better freight rates,
and that is all we are contending for.
Whether the Union Pacific is charging
us more than will give it a just return
for services performed we do not know,
nor do we care. We do know that we
are paying more than trade can stand,
and that is what we do care about.
The Dalles along with other interior
towns is subjected to the worst kind of
discrimination, in that it has to pay on
all through freight the rate to Portland
with way freight back added. We
know that this is unjust. Freight from
the east is hauled by us to Portlnd
for lees than it will be delivered here
for, and so it will readily be seen that
we are charged too much, or Portland
too little. If the former it ia grossly un
just to ub, if the latter equally unjust
that the interior towns should pay
higher rates to cover the corresponding
reductions in Portland's favor. We
have no objection to Portland getting
cheap freight rates, but we do object to
having' our rates doubled in order that
this result may be attained. As we said
once before the mysterious juggling of
long and short hauls is always brought
forward to explain this, but it explains
nothing. Freight from La Grande to
The Dalles is the same as from La
Grande to Portland, yet either is a short
haul. We, want the portage' railway,
and we want it now. It will do Eastern
Oregon more good in one year than a
board of railroad commissioners would
in twenty, and Eastern Oregon would
gladly have her share of the board dis
charged, and the money appropriated to
the use of the portage road.
FAY YOUR MEN.
Considered from a pureiy political
standpoint Oregon's governor is no
doubt the strongest man in the Demo--cratic
party. We do not mean the ablest
man nor the most prominent, but con
sidering him simply in the light of a
vote winner, he stands head and should
ers above any man in his party. As the
Oregonian intimates, viewed from a
purely Democratic siandpoint he is as
near the perfect Democratic politician
as can be found. His recent message
wound up with a genuine Democratic
platform, with a little side platform of
his own thrown in, but that very side
platform is where he shows his strength.
He could go into the battle with the
prestige of having twice carried a strong
Republican state, for its highest office,
and the second time by the votes of the
very class it is necessary to carry with
him, the farmers. It is fair to presume
that he can carry this element in Kansas,
Nebraska and the other Alliance states.
For a campaign war cry, his epigram on
the occasion of the Oregon Pacific
troubles when that company demanded
that he call out the militia would be a
stunner, "Pay your men and you will
not need the militia," would be an in
toxicating Slogan, that would bring him
Ubousands of labor votes, and would
"make it easy for him to secure a large
and enthusiastic following in the big
cities. We do not believe that Governor
Pennoyer will ever be president of the
United States for the reason that Oregon
has not electoral votes enough to give
him a standing in the nominating con
vention. Grant who sized the Democ
racy up pretty thoroughly said "They
could always be depended on to do the
wrong thing at the right time," and
their sins of ommission are corollary to
this, that they will not do the right
thing at the right time. Hill and
Cleveland are weak, each in the power
of the other. Neither would develop
the strength that Oregon's governor
already has. . Should he however get
the nomination the Oregonian, the lead
ing Republican paper of the - coast can
honestly lay claim to the honor of hav
ing first put forth the claims of the next
president. '

Poor Jack Dempsey received his cruel
est blow from the Aitorian which in
mentioning his foot race with Fitzsim
none, knocked the middle letter out of
his name.
It is probable that many new bills
"will see the light at Salem during the
week, and among the first we hope to see
the -legislature tackle the assessment
law. This is an absolute necessity, and
to get a good law is going to take lots of
hard and diligent work. It cannot be
commenced too soon as time is much
more plentiful at this stage of the session
than it will be thirty days" from now.
The Australian ballot system is to be
adopted, ' and along with the other bills
a general incorporation law : should be
passed so that the growing towns of the
state can formulate city governments
without the intervention of the legisla
ture. ' '
Senator Mitchell was elected -to-day
without opposition, to succeed himself.
In Washington the fight between Squire
and Calkins culminates to-day. Up to
this writing no word has been received
but we predict that Squire will be elected
with vdtes to spare, at least on the
second ballot.
The state will have to le reapportioned
by this legislature and some provision
should be made so that each county
would have a member in the house.
This is the law in Washington, and we
believe it is a good one. It gives the
little counties a chance, and certainly
they are entitled to representation.

Ridge that kills.
Floral Wedding Handcuffs.
One of the prettiest novelties at En
glish bridals is that of linking the brides
maids together with chains of flowers at
tached to floral handcuffs.
Usually there are six maids besides the
maid of honor. They walk two by two,
those on the right side of the aisle hav
ing the chains depending from their left
wrists, the maids on the left side having
their right wrists connected. The chains
are long enough to curve gracefully from
wrist to wrist. The outside hand of each
maid is free to hold her bouquet, posy or
basket of blossoms, and linking the
wrists, that are on the inside going up
the aisle, brings the maids in the right
order as they form quarter circles one on
each side, at the chancel.
After the ceremony in the twinkling
of an eye the maid nearest the bride on
each side slips off her handcuff, passes it
to the second maid, takes the arm of
"her" usher and falls into line. Maid
number two follows suit, and the two
who are last to leave the church carry
the chains in loops on their disengaged
aim. Ladies' Home Journal.

of grapes, both green and purple, in
sardonyx submitted to different degrees
of heat until it takes on the different
hues of green and ripe fruit. These
grapes are mounted as sleeve links, with
a gold chain connecting the fruit, or set

if some thoughtless or cruel hand tears

living sorrow, a daily horror, and seldom
is it their fault that it is there. However

A prominent physician and old army
surgeon in eastern Iowa, was called away
from home for a few days ; during his ab
sence one of the children contracted a
severe cold and his wife bought a bottle
of Chamberlin's Cough Remedy for it.
They Were so much pleased that they
afterwards used several bottles at var
ious times. He said, from experience
with it, he regarded it as the most reli
able preparation in use for colds and that
it came the nearest being a specific of
any medicine he had ever seen. For
